  • Notes on layers & nozzles:
    • Layer height should not exceed 80 % of the nozzle diameter.
    • Nozzle diam affects level of detail on horizontal surfaces.
    • Layer height affects level of detail on vertical surfaces.
    • Use a 0.25mm nozzle if printing small text, or if you have a lot of support structures, which are much easier to remove with the smaller nozzle.
    • Use a 0.60mm nozzle if you don't have detail. Printing speed much faster.
    • Use a 1.0mm nozzle for very fast print speeds when level of detail is very low.
